Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is no stranger to innovation, but his recent revelations about how deeply artificial intelligence has become embedded in his daily life might surprise even his most ardent fans. Speaking on the _High Performance_ podcast on June 30, the Dallas Mavericks minority owner confessed that AI is now part of virtually everything he does—from software development to health tracking. “It’s insane how much I use it right now,” said the 66-year-old investor. Cuban shared that he recently started using Replit, a tool that lets users generate code simply by describing what they want. Despite not having written code in years, Cuban said he was able to build a tool to compare pharmacy costs across different companies and receive real-time alerts when prices changed—all in a matter of minutes.
But Cuban’s AI use doesn’t stop at business tools. He’s also tapping into its creative capabilities for his NBA team. Using text-to-video tools, he’s creating content for the Dallas Mavericks. “I just give it new ideas and things I want,” he said, marveling at how quickly AI can generate first drafts of software or content. Still, he admits that the technology isn’t flawless. “An advanced programmer could do a better job,” he acknowledged. His statement echoes growing concerns in the tech community that AI, while promising, needs human oversight—especially when accuracy matters. Cuban’s reliance on AI has extended into the most personal corner of his life—his health. After undergoing a cardiac procedure for atrial fibrillation, he used ChatGPT to monitor his medications and workout routines. “I’m going to tell you when I take my medicine and when I do my workout, and I want you to record it all,” he said. If anything looked off, he asked the chatbot to flag it.
In the past, he noted, he might have turned to a mobile app to track such information. Now, he simply talks to ChatGPT, treating it almost like a personal health assistant. Still, he remains cautious. “You’ve got to be careful… It’s like talking to a friend who you think knows a lot about something,” he warned. “You still have to talk to an expert.”
Cuban isn’t alone among tech leaders leaning on AI in daily life. According to reports from _Business Insider_, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman uses AI to handle emails and summarize documents. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella lets AI organize his inbox. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, whose company powers many of today’s AI models, relies on chatbots to help write drafts of his speeches. At a Wired event in December 2024, Huang explained, “I give it a basic outline, give it some PDFs of my previous talks, and I get it to write my first draft. It’s really fantastic.”
Despite the glowing endorsements, experts continue to warn that AI tools still have notable flaws. A March 25 report from Columbia University’s Tow Center for [Digital Journalism](/topic/digital-journalism) found that even paid versions of popular AI chatbots often provide confidently incorrect answers. Some even fabricated news citations when asked for accurate sources.
Cuban’s takeaway? AI is powerful, but not perfect. “You’ve got to be careful,” he repeated, reminding users to treat AI as a tool—not a replacement for professional judgment.For Cuban, the fascination with AI is not just about staying ahead in business—it's about leveraging tech to live smarter, healthier, and more creatively. His story shows that the future of AI isn’t a distant prospect—it’s already here, shaping everything from basketball promotions to personal recovery plans. And for those wondering whether AI is just a passing trend or the next permanent fixture in our lives, Cuban’s answer seems clear: “I use it for everything.”
